I recommend people go straight away into settings before they do anything and check their file paths.
In my case the 64 bit VST plugins folder got changed to the wrong folder. Easily corrected.

Same here -
Thanks for the heads up!!

Guess this is the first bug... It's trivial if you manage to correct it before it does anything. I suspect though many people might forget I hope there won't be too many complaints..

So Doktor, is this only a bug for those who have changed the default VST install paths ?
Mine seems to be the same.

No idea. Probably.

This is what changed in the path:
 
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins
 
It used to be "VstPlugins". The "p" got changed to a lowercase. It was uppercase previously.

Interesting although this case the issue is just presentation. Case sensitivity ultimately does not matter.

Seems to do a complete reset of things. All my hidden stuff, re-appeared. But before where hiding would take forever, due to searching for updates, now it just takes seconds. After hiding, it did take me bak to the main folders, so I had to reopen the folder again, but it's nothing, and took less than a minute to get things back to how I liked.
 
Being that it wasn't trying to update, I took a look to see where this was now triggered and saw it in the setting cog icon. There also was a list of 16 things I'd hidden with a check box.
 
I like how this has been done, makes hiding and keeping things clear much more intuitive.
The more things hidden, the less checked for updates, the faster the checking.
 
My CCC update also looked to be hanging, and stayed on 0% for a few mins, then when I looked at the screen next, it was dione and updated.
 
 

Thanks for all your hard work.
